Palin said her divorce was ‘When,’ not ‘If’

In a Sept. 26, 2007, email obtained by The Associated Press, Palin wrote to an aide and her husband, Todd Palin: “So speaking of. .. If we, er, when we get a divorce, does that quell ‘conflict of interest’ accusations about BP?”

At the time, her husband was working for BP on the North Slope pipeline. No other details about the circumstances surrounding the email were available.

The information was included in more than 17,000 records released Thursday by Alaska officials, according to The Associated Press, which obtained the documents as part of a Freedom of Information Act request.
